The flow of energy through living systems can be modeled as food chains, food webs, or energy pyramids. The energy organisms need to live and grow first enters the ecosystem when which of the following occurs?
Plants take in light energy from the sun
Decomposers break down dead organisms
Primary consumers eat plants for food
Secondary consumers eat primary consumers
Question 2
Which of the following best describes how energy is transferred in a food web?
All energy is transferred to each level of a food web.
Energy flows from producers to one or more levels of consumers.
Consumers transfer their energy to producers.
Decomposers get their energy directly from the sun.
Question 3
Mr. Smith provides a diagram of a food web and asks the students to identify the various ways matter is flowing through these relationships. The diagram is provided.
Based on the diagram, it is reasonable to conclude that matter could follow which of the following paths as it cycles through this ecosystem?
Plant seeds → grass → deer
Plant seeds → field mouse → robin
Eagle → deer → plant seeds
Grass → deer → mountain lion
Question 4
Organisms that are responsible for taking in light energy to make their own food are known as which of the following?
Consumers
Heterotrophs
Producers
Decomposers
Question 5
Food webs diagram the complex relationships of energy flow in an ecosystem containing a variety of producers and consumers. A diagram is provided.
Which of the following correctly shows one path that energy would flow through this ecosystem?
Star grass → termite→ wildebeest→ aardvark
Hyena → aardvark → impala → harvester ant
Grasshopper → termite→ warthog → hare
Red oat grass → termite → wildebeest → lion
Question 6
A food web diagram is provided.
Based on this diagram, which three consumers all get their energy from the same producer?
Squirrel, robin, and field mouse
Squirrel, deer, and mountain lion
Prairie grass, deer, and mountain lion
Plant seeds, field mouse, and snake
Question 7
Destiny is given a list of organisms and asked to determine how these organisms interact together. Destiny draws them in a food web diagram, which is provided.
Based on her diagram, what is the role of the sunfish in this food web?
To break down waste products made by insect larvae
To provide energy for the bass and snapper turtles
To take in light from the sun and produce food
To consume the algae and other pond plants
Question 8
A diagram is provided.
Which of the following can be determined by this diagram?
The energy of the mongoose is passed on to the hare.
The cheetah supplies energy to a variety of organisms.
The energy of the acacia tree is passed on to the impala.
The aardvark, pangolin, and mongoose are all producers.
Question 9
Noah has collected a mold specimen found on a tree in his backyard. Noah knows the mold is a decomposer, but what role does mold play in a food web?
Breaks down organic wasters and dead organisms
Uses sunlight and water to produce its own food
Releases oxygen into the atmosphere for respiration
Provides the energy that animals need for food

The starship enterprise is caught in a time warp and spock is forced to use the primitive techniques of the 20th century to determine the specific heat capacity of an unknown mineral. the 125-g sample was heated to 96.3°c and placed into a calorimeter containing 85.9 g of water at 20.0°c. the heat capacity of the calorimeter was 14.2 j/k. the final temperature in the calorimeter was 24.5°c. what is the specific heat capacity (in j/g°c) of the mineral? enter to 4 decimal places.

Amerry-go-round of radius r, shown in the figure, is rotating at constant angular speed. the friction in its bearings is so small that it can be ignored. a sandbag of mass m is dropped onto the merry-go-round, at a position designated by r. the sandbag does not slip or roll upon contact with the merry-go-round. how would you rank the following different combinations of m and r on the basis of the angular speed of the merry-go-round after the sandbag "sticks" to the merry-go-round from largest to smallest. a) m = 10kg, r = 0.25r b) m = 20kg, r = 0.25r c) m = 10kg, r = 0.50r d) m = 10kg, r = 1.0r e) m = 15kg, r = 0.75r f) m = 40kg, r = 0.25r
